Right then Peter. In the lead up to privatisation the "Sectors" of the BR freight side were divvied up into three outfits each with it's own locos and stock. Load Haul in black and orange livery, Transrail in two tone grey with a big white T on a blue background, and Mainline Freight in a "Aircraft Blue" livery with name and details in silver. A lot of money was spent on repainting locos etc, the idea being to flog off each outfit as a going concern "To the highest bidder". Hah! Along comes whoever it was and buys up the whole shootin' match and forms EWS with it.
That's the basics of it, someone with a better memory of the facts will probably cross the t's and dot the i's.
